I got a problem after update of {{pkg|hplip}} / {{pkg|cups}} and foomatic. My printer not working anymore.

So I first check possible problems and read section Device node permissions. It's recommended to verify that permissions are 660. It was my case so I am looking to find another solution.

After a long time and read I was back to this section. I read also section below Device node permission troubleshooting. As my conf was with well permission I don't really read all carefully. It was the 3rd/4th time before I see the note about 666 permissions. I tried this and it's solved my problem.

So I think it would be great to make also a note on Device node permissions about 666. Because my conf look allright as writing in wiki, but in fact not.

== Is libcups really sufficient as a client package ? ==

+

+

I can't seem to be able to print in KDE applications (4.9.97) if I only have {{Pkg|libcups}} installed:

+

+

''Could not print the document. Detailed error is "Could not find a suitable binary for printing. Make sure '''CUPS lpr''' binary is available"''

+

+

But {{ic|/usr/bin/lpr}} is part of the {{Pkg|cups}} package... Could it be that KDE requires cups for printing ?<br>

I don't know if this is a general-enough problem to be put on the wiki, but I was unable to print using my Konica-Minolta PagePro 1350w because the driver was not installed with foomatic. I installed foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters, and used the CUPS web interface to add the printer and select the recommended min12xxw driver. I was unable to print, and only got uninformative error messages in the logs like "Filter error". The Gnome printer dialog, however, said it was unable to find the driver, so I tried installing it from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/min12xxw/), after which I was able to print. Why was the driver listed in the CUPS web management interface, but not actually installed? Maybe a note on the wiki will help future users.

"Then add your cups server IP or hostname into /etc/cups/client.conf." ... begs the question how you get the freaking IP or hostname.[[User:Jasper1984|Jasper1984]] ([[User talk:Jasper1984|talk]]) 17:30, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

In the section [[Cups#Command-line_configuration|Command-line configuration]] under "Add a new printer" it says, "The device can be retrieved from the 'lpinfo -i' command." When I run that command I get, 'lpinfo: Unknown option "i"'. -- [[User:Fsckd|fsckd]] ([[User_talk:Fsckd|talk]]) 16:28, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Removing the HostNameLookups double form the cups config file resolved my issue. Not sure why this used to solve instead of create problems.

Foomatic not providing drivers?

I don't know if this is a general-enough problem to be put on the wiki, but I was unable to print using my Konica-Minolta PagePro 1350w because the driver was not installed with foomatic.

Unknown option "i"

In the section Command-line configuration under "Add a new printer" it says, "The device can be retrieved from the 'lpinfo -i' command." When I run that command I get, 'lpinfo: Unknown option "i"'. -- fsckd (talk) 16:28, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
